Re: Magnificent Ba$tards? Perish the thought. I'm not a big FNM person and wasn't aware they even had a album/song title called that. It was more taken off the "Magnificent Seven" motif.

Some of our past faves. Happy Smackits Death Brigade The Magnificant Ba$tards Reichstag's Raiders Granted, we weren't your average group of heroic do-gooders.

Well, 5 pages! I'm impressed and a bit surprised. I suppose it's easy to armchair quarterback the situation, pondering, "Well, I would have done it this way or that way." While I was moderately irritated by the anti-climactic ending to the battle, I'd say the dragon did the best it could with...

Ah yes, B5...the mother of an multi-fasceted and intricate plotlines. Londo rules. :)

Malcolm and Yoshi seem to be the saving graces of the ship. If it weren't for them, they would have died episodes ago. Thank Malcolm for the wonderful notion of overloading the phasers and all those torpedo tests. Yoshi, while she is somewhat of a liability on away-missions, has proved that her...

Indeed. Having many DM'ed 3e games under my belt, I'd say that I was way too easy on spreading magic items around. There is much to be said (NOT HERE!) about the desparities of 2e and 3e, and DM-ing the systems are like learning to drive on an automatic Ford escort then being handed the keys of...

Snow...blizzards...what is this weather phenomena that you speak of??? It was 77F in Washington D.C. yesterday. Hooray...I mean, boo global warming.

Oh. IIRC, the wizard was also invisible. Ok, that makes a big difference, but it's hard to recount every last action made during a battle that happened 5 days ago.

I'm inclined to go with, "Holy :):):):):), it's a tarrask!"

In the dragon's defense...had it seen the flying wizard overhead, I wouldn't have used the breath weapon as its first attack. But since it was submerged until moments before combat ensued, it had no idea that there was a flying halfling wizard over it ready to strike. I based its attack on the...

We have a house rule regarding wounds and blood loss. Anytime a character takes more than half of their current HP in damage, they have to make a FORT save (DC 10). If they succeed, no gave effect, their mighty constitution allows them to shirk off the effects of a nasty wound. If they fail...

It seems 2cp goes alot further these days... I've been in fantasy-based games where not one, but several organizations "wanted to have a word" with my group. Half the fun of gaming is the great unknown. If I'm the player who has had the character since 1st level, I'd want a sporting chance of...

According to the outcomes posted by Zouken, it sounds as if half the party (the cleric & rogue) have a sporting chance at continuing the adventure. The cleric could easily start on a path of redemption and the rogue can serve as the appointed party spokesperson for all matters relating to...

Again, if Rufus is a high-level (which he is), he would most likely be the living embodiment of lawful good. You can't attain a position of such high "degree" of authority without a large dose of egotism, hence, my thinking that Rufus' attitudes would be akin to that of a paladin.

Heck, why don't we throw out another scenario. What if the other party members go for a jail-break to free the imprisoned barbarian? Being wanted outlaws could be quite interesting.

Given that new info, I'd be inclined to think Rufus is the "lord protector" of Hommlet. Being lawfully bound to protect Hommlet at all costs, the injustice of the barbarian (particularly of sworn officers of the land) should be met with swift punishment. I would recommend that he be summarily...

I never said lawful good=lawful pansy. I'm basing lawful good on the notion of "what would a paladin do under these circumstances?" He/she would bring the criminals to justice and obey whatever law which governs the land. If the code of law warrants capital punishment, that's fine and dandy...

If Rufus is the preciding "law of the land", his LG alignment would not condone execution. At most the barbarian would serve a very long life imprisonment, perhaps being paroled after a certain amount of time served. This is D&D, so magical punishments such as high-level curses could be a...

It started off as the "War to end all wars", followed by a bit soul-searching by party members. Currently the party is on a quest to retrieve the 4 pieces of the Holy Amulet of Pelor. To add to deed, Pelor has sent an Aasimar Paladin to oversee the recovery of the missing pieces. It's been quite...

You sacrifice his/her character to Orcus...wait, stupid inner monologue talking outloud again. I have 4 regular players and as long as 3 show up, we're gaming. I try not to hinge too much of the plotline on one character, always having someone else set as a possible backup if the other player...
